Set bitmap as drawableLeft to EditText

Question

I am developing an app that retrieves contact image from contact database and set it to EditText as drawableLeft along with contact name

I am able to retrieve name as well as contact image as bitmap, but not able to set it as drawableLeft

Answer 1

Instead of setting bitmap on textview use ImageView

Answer 2

Try this code:

BitmapDrawable drawableLeft = new BitmapDrawable(getResources(), yourBitmap);
mYourEditText.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(drawableLeft, null, null, null);
